Note on Marsaglia\'s Xorshift Random Number Generators
Marsaglia (2003) has described a class of Xorshift random number generators (RNGs) with periods 2n - 1 for n = 32, 64, etc. We show that the sequences generated by these RNGs are identical to the sequences generated by certain linear feedback shift register (LFSR) generators using "exclusive or...
